'The first half was one-sided, with Millwall firmly in control and scoring two goals, and Brian Robson probably didn't expect to come to Lions' Den against a Millwall team that was very different from the first half of the season. What will happen to Middlesbrough in the second half? Or do you want to keep up and fight with the teams at the bottom of the standings? ”

Aldridge returned to the dressing room at half-time and the players built up a sense of confidence as they continued to win, and they would no longer be overjoyed by the midfield lead, taking a gentle and calm break.

Aldridge praised the team's performance, there is nothing to adjust tactically, as long as they control the ball in the second half and take the initiative to shrink, the victory will be in hand, and he can even predict that Middlesbrough will inevitably fight back in the second half, which will give Millwall more opportunities to counter-attack.

But he walked up to David Beckham, a young player with a smile on his face and a first-half attack and assist a goal that he was proud of.

"David, we're already two goals ahead, you're really talented in attack, but we have to defend well first, in the second half you don't cut in on the right side easily, in the back position, your long pass will have a surprise effect, if you go forward you will lack space to play, if you are counterattacked, if you can't return in time, we may be beaten through the wing. Do you understand? ”

Aldridge always habitually puts the reason in front of the players when arranging tactics, rather than telling the opponent what kind of task to accomplish in a commanding manner, and his habit is very satisfying to the players in the team.

Beckham wiped his sweat, put away his smile and nodded in understanding.

Aldridge didn't say much more, and walked out of the dressing room with the players after a short break.

In the second half, despite the team's two-goal lead, Aldridge still stood on the sidelines, he knew the importance of this game, once Middlesbrough overturned, Millwall although they can still lead by 10 points, but with 14 league games remaining, Middlesbrough may be demoralized and threaten Millwall's top spot.

As soon as the game started again, Millwall fans were already singing "We are the champions" and "Playing in the Premier League next season".

There was a lot of laughter and singing in the stands, but Aldridge frowned.

The Middlesbrough players were in a state of flux in the second half, and they showed a very different fighting spirit from the first half.

Aldridge understood that Bryan Robson had actually put the decisive battle in the second half, and whether Millwall led or drew in the first half, it was the opponent's strategy.

In a draw, Millwall may be in a hurry to win against their opponents and get frizzy.

Ahead, Millwall may be underwhelmed.

The process of scoring a goal on the football field is always very short, maybe a few seconds to a dozen seconds.

45 minutes into the second half, is there enough time to turn the tables? More than enough for a scrappy team!

Thuram broke the ball at the back and passed straight forward, intending to give the ball to Beckham, but did not expect Beckham to wait for the ball on the spot, but ran forward, seemingly intending to save time to complete a quick counter-attack.

Aldrich's eyes widened in disbelief.

Did everything I say to you at halftime fall on deaf ears?!

David Beckham tried to get the ball to his feet without turning, but someone in front of him reached out and easily cut it off, and then slotted it forward.

Curtis Fleming!

It's him again!

Aldrich whispered angrily, "F-uck! ”

Beckham hurriedly chased back after being cut off, but his speed was not an advantage, he was cut off the ball, turned back to chase, and couldn't touch Fleming's jersey at all.

It was supposed to be Millwall's counter-attack, but Middlesbrough launched a counter-attack after the break.

After Fleming dribbled the ball into Millwall's half from the wing, Makelele quickly moved vertically to intercept it, and Fleming quickly crossed the ball to midfield.

Middlesbrough's tactic of rushing from the flanks and then attracting the defence and then focusing on the middle was clearly carefully rehearsed.

Blackmore received the ball and passed it to Mastow, who was cut in at the back, before Nedved could press closely!

The two strikers, Hendry and Kavanagh, kept pressing the defence, so that Stam and Southgate did not dare to rush up, and Masto took the ball to the penalty area and unexpectedly shot directly from the distance!

Nedved was a step too late to chase back the tackle, and could only watch the ball come out of the heavy gun!

The world is a wave!

The ball barely spun into Millwall's top left-hand corner and Kaseli Keller could only look at it.

After Middlesbrough scored, striker Kavanagh quickly picked up the ball from the goal and ran to the backfield, and the other players did not celebrate, at this moment they are united, with the belief of equalizing or even overtaking!

Aldridge's face was gloomy, if you say that the goal just now is responsible, there is only one person: Beckham!

Thuram was pinned down by the side-worn Hagknight and couldn't get up, Makelle came over to sweep it was a normal choice, and it was originally a Millwall counterattack, Nedved was stepping forward, Beckham only needed to get the ball on the side, Nedved had already run out of the catch space, but he was counterattacked by the opponent on the spot, Masto's world wave was impeccable, maybe he was given a hundred chances may not be able to shoot such a wonderful goal.

But such a goal conceded is no accident!

At half-time, Aldridge's advice to Beckham was heard by the other players, so after conceding the goal, Southgate ran to Beckham and said to him seriously: "Listen honestly to the boss, don't rush forward!" ”

His mistakes alone will make Millwall's entire defensive system passive, and then the opponent will find a flaw.

As the English folk song goes:

lost an iron nail, lost a horseshoe nail;

lost a hoof nail and broke a warhorse;

Broke a war horse and lost a king;

Lost a king, lost a war;

Lost a war, lost an empire!

Seeing Beckham's head drooping, Aldridge wanted to say something more, but he couldn't bear it.

After all, he's still a young player, and honing from mistakes is a necessary way to grow.

After the game started again, Middlesbrough had the momentum to fight back.

In this regard, Aldridge sneered in his heart: Do you think a goal will break Millwall? How naΓ―ve!

Ten minutes later, Middlesbrough paid the price for their comeback.

Larsson pulled out of the box and played a delicate combination with Nedved and Pire, and the three played with three Middlesbrough defenders with a succession of passes, and finally Larsson inserted into the box to receive Pire's pass and turned and volleyed, the ball bounced inside the far post and into the goal!

In the 63rd minute of the game, Millwall once again led the visiting Middlesbrough 3:1 at home.

Seeing this conceded goal, Brian Robson shook his head slightly, this is the gap between the players' strength!

Aldridge thought he would be relieved to take the lead again, but Beckham was once again aggressively involved in the attack on the right flank.

He shouted from the sidelines, "David! Give me back! ”

Beckham, who was in the frontcourt, turned around and made a downward gesture towards Aldrich, as if to tell Aldrich: Boss, relax, don't be nervous, it's okay, I'm measured!

Aldrich's face instantly became extremely ugly!

It was at this point that Middlesbrough attacked again from their left.

Brian Robson has already seen that the biggest hole in Millwall's defensive system is on the right flank, with a large gap behind the handsome Manchester United kid.

Fleming didn't have to dribble to break through this time, and he played a one-two with left centre-back Wicks.

Wicks' up-and-coming assist was a surprise, and Beckham was played like a stake by Fleming and Wicks.

Fleming then left Beckham behind once again.

Middlesbrough repeated the same trick, Masto stepped forward again, Blackmore and Hegknight went hand in hand in the middle, the ball was passed quickly back and forth at their feet, and when Makelele knocked down Blackmore from the side, the referee stopped the game, reached out for a foul on Makelele, and pulled a yellow card out of his pocket, followed by another red card!

Makelle already had a yellow card in the first half!

Makelele, who had turned yellow and red, had no excuse, and he walked off the field dejectedly.

When Aldrich saw this scene, he directly turned around and kicked away the mineral water bottle he put on the ground!

"Bernd, Patrick, warm up quickly, after this free kick, you go on the field, Patrick replaces Trezeguet to take Claude's place, Bernd replaces Beckham, Patrick, you come on and tell Pavel to form a double midfielder with him, and the two wings shrink and play a counterattack in the half!"

Enraged, Aldrich quickly made a substitution.

What made him even more angry was that Middlesbrough's direct free kick was actually scored!

Blackmore's impeccable curling shot found the back of the net that Keller was guarding.

Millwall's situation on the field is precarious, the 2-0 advantage in the first half is gone, and now it is only a 3-2 lead, and there is one less player!

With twenty minutes left after that goal, Brian Robson quickly redeployed his squad to add a midfielder and replace a centre-back to play the traditional 442.

When Trezeguet was replaced by Vieira, Aldridge walked over to greet Trezeguet, scored twice today, Trezeguet played happily, but the situation of the game made him unable to laugh, Aldridge hugged him and then walked back to the dugout, not looking at Beckham who looked frustrated when he came off the field.
